AMD is doing gamers a solid - according to a new leak its new Ryzen CPUs will 
work with older motherboards.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

AMD continues to support its AM4 motherboards well into its AM5 socket with 
some of the best processors on the market, and a new leak seems to prove 
that, as it reveals several upcoming AMD Ryzen processors that are compatible 
with the older gen boards. 

New leaks, the first coming from reliable X (formerly Twitter) leaker 
@momomo_us and the second from an investigation by Wccftech , tell us that 
three upcoming processors will work with the AM4 motherboard. The former 
leaker posted the three chips  the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT , Ryzen 5 5600 , and 
Ryzen 3 5300G  as well as specs for the 5600. 

The latter confirmed that Asus and MSI updated their motherboard 
compatibility lists to include these chips, though other manufacturers like 
ASRock and Gigabyte havent done the same yet. 

What makes this even more interesting is that other AM4 processors like the 
Ryzen 7 5800X3D are starting to fade out of the supply chain. If this leak 
turns out to be true, then AMD will be replacing it with three new chips that 
can support this motherboard. 

The Ryzen 5 5600XT is expected to feature six cores (12 threads) with a base 
clock of 3.8GHz, the Ryzen 5 5600T with six cores but a base clock of 3.5GHz, 
and the Ryzen 3 5300G is expected to have a quad-core chip with Radeon Vega 
graphics. AMDs support of AM4 continues 

Fingers crossed that these leaks are accurate as that would be excellent news 
for budget-minded gamers. Though giving credit to these reports is a previous 
announcement from AMD during Computex 2024 in which the Ryzen 9 5900XT and 
the Ryzen 7 5800XT were revealed to be compatible with AM4. 

The pricing for those two chips is pretty solid as well, with the former at 
$359 (about 280 / AU536) and the latter will sell for $249 (around 195 / 
AU$373). It seems that while AMD is still giving us high-end chips meant to 
compete with the likes of Nvidia, its also dedicated to putting out more 
affordable ones for those who dont have the funds to buy a whole new 
processor as well as a motherboard. 

AMD continuing to throw support behind AM4 motherboards is more than 
commendable and should honestly be more of an industry standard, especially 
when the component in question is still used by a significant install base. 
Once AM5 becomes the new dominant tech in the future, I hope that the tech 
giant treats it with the same level of dedication. You might also like AM4 is 
alive and well as AMD announces Ryzen 5000XT CPUs at Computex 2024 AMD could 
release faster versions of last-gen Ryzen CPUs that are perfect for budget 
builds and upgrades AMD motherboards are about to get a massive memory upgrade
